Sylar sucks, and he needs to be killed off

The end of Season Two brought with it the return of Sylar's ridiculous capabilities. As Todd so poignantly pointed out a while ago, characters with power like Sylar and Peter is just ludicrous. While I'm a fan of Peter, because he uses his powers for good (most of the time), Sylar is just the bane of the show's existence. And here's why.

While I realize the need for a central enemy of the Heroes, Season two floundered the entire run while trying to figure out who it should be. In the first Season One, while I detested Sylar, I took comfort knowing that he would be limited to an unimportant portion to the Heroes' sophomore year. And he was, for the majority of it. And, I loved it. Not only is Zachary Quinto an awkward actor (good, but awkward and hard to watch, at least for me), but Sylar is a particularly annoying and has massively odd "isms" that endlessly piss me off.

I just don't know how much screen time featuring the likes of Sylar I will be able to handle when Heroes returns. What Tim Kring and his writing crew are trying to do with bringing Sylar back in this fashion is beyond me. We've already proven that he pretty much can't be beaten, so his character in essence limits the possibility for drama and new plot elements severely.

He just needs to be killed off. Fast.
